This was my first trip with Turo. It went much smoother than I expected. From choice of vehicle - it offered more than rental companies and skipping the rental car counter was wonderful. The host was quickly responsive and helpful. I would absolutely use Turo and specifically this host again in the future. Thanks for making my first experience smooth and enjoyable!!
